Michael Fassbender to star in Assassin's Creed film

It’s been a
while since a movie news post, however after hearing about this little nugget
of goodness, now seemed like a prime time!

The
Bafta-nominated actor Michael Fassbender has been cast in a film adaptation
of video game titan Assassin's Creed. The X-Men: First Class actor will prove
his talent has no bounds as he is down to co-produce the movie as well.

Jean-Julien
Baronnet from Ubisoft games gushed Fassy’s praises by saying "Michael Fassbender
was our first choice," and called him "extremely smart, talented,
versatile and committed." That sounds about right…

If
sales of the video game are anything to go by (more than 30 million copies
sold) it feels like this movie may just be a hit. The game is about a family of
assassins and their conflict with the Knights Templar, which spans the
Crusades, the Italian Renaissance and, in a forthcoming instalment, the
American War of Independence.

And
just because we can, here’s a gratuitous picture of the man of the moment:
Michael Fassbender.

That's what I thought, sounds like with Michael aboard, this film could be more than a money spinning gimmick - fingers crossed! And now you mention it I do remember the Peter Jackson talk! I don't mind the game, but I am more interested in this film :)
